If we put the disavow links in google, does MOZ crawl the same links?
-
I have put bad or spam links in disavow file, but still showing in MOZ backlinks. So, I want to know that Why is MOZ not removing the spam links from their system?

@eli-myers Hello, I have a question about disavow links.
We have some backlinks which have high spam scores, we gave google for disavowing, but we don't know when Moz will see that we gave google those links to disavow them.

Hi Eli,
Any update on this feature? It's been over a year now since your post above. Has this moved on to the development roadmap now?
Thanks

Hi Eli Myers,
Thanks for sharing that information! Just one more question - Does this mean that spam scores are also not updated since the links are still showing in Moz? What are the appropriate steps to take to lower spam scores and as a result, improve DA?
-
Hi Eli Myers,
thank for sharing info. but how can I increase DA and PA. and how can I remove that spam backlinks permanently
-
Thanks Eli for response on the question, actually we do not know who is making bad links for our website. He is putting our website links on spamy websites, and MOZ is crawling and showing our website is spamy too. We have already put that links in disavow. But Still we are unable to remove that links or unable to contact with spamy websites and they are also not replying on our emails too.
Hope ! you will also create a new best strategy same as google disavow tool.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for contacting us!
We unfortunately will not detect that a link has been disavowed, this isn’t something we were able to include in the old or new DA models. Since disavowing links doesn't actually remove a link, it just signals to Google that the links isn't important, our crawler will continue to find the link. We are working on having something like that built into Link Explorer, where if you disavow a link in Google, you can also mark it as disavowed in Moz, but I’m afraid that option isn't available yet.
Links will not drop out of the Moz index unless the links are actually removed and no longer link to you, or if we’re unable to crawl the page the link is on.
We’ll continue to improve our Domain Authority and Page Authority algorithms and strengthen our link index as the search landscape changes. In terms of future updates, we anticipate this new DA model being quite stable over time. We will keep track of possible changes that we might need to make and we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
I hope this helps but please let us know if there's more we can help to clarify!
Eli

Keyword Ranking Report is Different than Real Result on Google
Hi Guys,
Moz Bar | | KanikaG
I am getting MOZ reports on a few keywords and that is good But when My client search for the same keywords he doesn't get the same rank, not even on that page. Let me explain in more details:
I have a keyword that shows on rank #5 in Google Mobile for a Local location for the current week. The client is from the same location as well. But when client search for that keyword from his mobile he doesn't get the keyword listed on that page, not even on other pages. I checked with other online keyword rank checker tool and all are showing the result similar to the Moz ranking report. It's really frustrating for my client. Google analytics shows that mobile users and organic reach are increasing so I am sure MOZ and other tools are showing us correct result. What could be the possible reason that he is not getting the same result as showing by MOZ? I am not from his location so how can I check the keyword result for the selected city using MOZ that is accurate? Any help would be highly appreciated. Please help. Thanks1 -

Does "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt affect moz tools ability to fetch DA?
Just checked a website for Domain Authority using Moz' tool, however it returned 1 for DA, which should be unlikely. I have been trying to find the problem and found "Disallow: /xmlrpc.php" in robots.txt. Could this affect Moz' tools ability to get the required data?

Moz crawler only crawls one page?!
Hello there, I'm using Moz for a while and I'm very pleased with the tool and community. But for the first time I encountered a problem. We are trying to run a crawler for a client's website but only one page (only the homepage) was crawled. We tried to do a test on a more detailed level (maybe there is something wrong with the homepage). My campaign test's crawl came back for the Producten folder (level deeper than homepage), and it was also only a 1 page crawl with a 200 status. I did look at the robots.txt file now, and it is very restrictive, but there is nothing that I can clearly see that would explain why the crawl isn't working. Hopefully someone can point us at the right direction. Thanks in advance, Jeremy
